Bangkok Post – “Super Raf Highlights the UK’s Rave Scene at ‘No System’ Event”

Article Summary:

A photo exhibition and film screening titled “No System” will launch in Bangkok next week, highlighting the UK’s 1990s rave scene. This event features rare photographic works by Vinca Petersen, a British multidisciplinary artist known for her profound documentation of European counterculture.

The exhibition delves into the free party culture that blossomed across the UK and Europe during the 1990s. It captures the essence of a movement that began with the rave phenomenon, where crowds of up to 25,000 gathered in remote locations for illegal all-night parties.

Rooted in music and hedonism, this vibrant culture also embodied civil disobedience and defiance of authority. Attendees often participated in protests against the governmental crackdown on their lifestyle, blending music with political engagement.

“No System” not only showcases the artistry of the rave movement but also aims to educate viewers about its historical significance and impact on youth culture during that era.
